I received a very detailed scouting report from Phil, the Geordie exile from California, who will be joining the support team from day 83. To say that it is detailed is an understatement. There were even some brochures and maps from the few
The report detailed potential overnight stopping places, the best places to restock supplies, refuel and dump waste and, very importantly, recommendations with regard to running in Death Valley.
A large gap in my plan was around potential places to stay after Death Valley. I’m pleased to report that Phil has been very thorough in this area.
A huge thank you to Phil for driving the route in Nevada and California and documenting his findings.
